Requesting Items Stored in the SLF-S

The Systemwide Library Facility - South(opens in a new tab) (SLF-S) is storage facility for infrequently used materials from the five southern UC campuses. It is located about a twenty-five-minute walk from the Charles E. Young Research Library. A campus map(opens in a new tab) showing the location of the SLF-S is available.

Users can request and pick up items in person at the SRLF reception desk Monday through Friday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Only those with the X campus parking permit can use Parking Lot 17 at the SLF-S. Others can park in Parking Lot 11 close to the SLF-S. Those who hold a valid parking permit from any UC campus can use Parking Lot 11 free of charge. Others must pay an entry fee. Please see additional parking information on the SLF-S website(opens in a new tab).
